I'll be at the LAX AC for a 6:30 am flight on Tuesday (assuming that the AC opens that early.) If you see me asleep in a chair, please wake me and point me toward the coffee.

I was in the LAX AC on Thursday night, on my way to YYZ via ORD, and asked for drink chits for international travel. I was surprised to hear that YYZ didnt count as international, and therefore not entitled to drink chits. I was planning on adding to the game...

Also, noticed today that my ORD AC drink chits weren't stamped ORD. Did they goof or is that something new?

Is there a consistent location that could be used in any AC where a chit could be left and checked discreetly?
On the other hand, if AC staff found chits lying around, they might not be so freely available.

One member recomended the title be changed so this thread could serve as a spare chit indicator for all the ACs (non needed in FLs,) rather than have someone start a new thread for another club. As others are already mentioned, I have taken the liberty of changing the title. Great idea, Blumie et al!

Great idea - better than using them as bookmarks as I've done in the past.
However, last time at RDU, they wrote my name and some number on each of the two coupons (PLT+intl) - not sure I would pass those on to some stranger... Anyone know when/why they mark them like that?

AC Treasure Hunt (drink chits, etc.) master thread
There are 2 drink chits good through the end of 5, Nov.
Location: Immediately to the right of the computers by the bar, there is a 'What makes you special' IBM ad. There are flyers below the ad. The last flyer in the set that reads 'The specialized enterprise' has the chits.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the idea brp.

And there is now one in the MIA D AC. (valid through the end of 05-Nov)
Location: Immediately outside the room with the computer terminals, there is a table with a sign saying "Quiet Area Please Refrain From Cell Phone Use". The chit is under the sign.

I would be worried that some uninformed gatekeeper might say: "Oh, if you're a member, you never get drink coupons, because otherwise, what would be point of charging in the first place?"
As I've said before, it is likely that AC members are the lowest on the totem pole from the perspective of PS mgmt because AA does not get any additional revenue when you walk in. By contrast, every time a OW elite (or QF Club member) enters, the sponsoring airline pays AA a token amount. And premium international/full-fare transcon F/P pax clearly have shelled out a great deal of cash (or cash+miles+copay) to AA for just that one trip.

In fact, I seem to recall a thread a while back in which an FTer said that he went to the AC (traveling internationally), and when the gatekeeper said "you know, you travel so much that you really should become a member," the FTer responded, "Actually, I am a member, but if I showed you my card, you wouldn't give me any drink chits." And it met with a scowl.

I have a three hour layover in DFW on Friday on the way to the UK.
What are the chances of getting drinks chits at the AC in A and then getting the train to D and getting some more in the AC there?
If that works, then watch the AC Treasure Hunt thread on Friday as I won't be using them anyway.
